Does structural 'normalization' of APOE4 domain interactions actually improve amyloid clearance function?

PARTIALLY ADDRESSED

The debate assumed that correcting APOE4's aberrant domain interactions would restore function, but this wasn't validated. The Skeptic noted that structural changes might not translate to functional improvements, and this fundamental assumption underlies multiple therapeutic approaches.
